No need to apologise. I didn't give my opinion. But personally I'd have Brittain down for 4th. Travis 2nd. Him and Tronstad have been the fulcrum of the team, and when either was out we massively struggled. Same can be said for Batth, without whom the defence became porous. Brittain has been excellent, with great contributions (5 assists and 2 goals from his position in 30 odd games is very good going), but I don't think the team has been quite as reliant on him as the other three. And remember the score is based on match by match scores given by board members rather than just an end of season vote. I certainly see the argument for Brittain being in the top 3 though. I can't imagine he was far behind.

Nothing wrong, just people having different opinions to yours. He had a great season, so did Tronstad, Travis and Batth.

Weird that the only football photo of Connor shows him playing outfield. Maybe he has switched positions in recent years.

Why do you mention them at all? Particularly Hibs (Not having a go, just wondering)

I noticed this when I clicked a match report you linked to, too. I googled Connor Eastham and only found a lad playing for someone else so I also assumed it was a mistake. Fair coincidence to have two keepers with that surname at the same club...maybe less of a coincidence but still weird if they're related.

Quite a few who went for it though, seemingly the most popular option (Without having bothered to count)? Not sure why...because they finished higher in the Prem than the others by a mighty 2 points? I didn't expect them to go down by any stretch but I certainly didn't expect them to win the league.

I do think Brum and Wrexham should be tougher than the usual because of their backing (and momentum in Wrexham's case), that's why I didn't mention them. Not sure either is getting top 6 though unless there's another big spending spree. Which tbf there may be, especially for Brum. I don't think Reynolds has disposable income to the tune of Championship promotion push though (unless he's so emotionally invested he's happy to spunk tens more millions), I always thought they'd get to this level fairly quickly then settle for a while. Any well managed team can get out of this league though.

I thought I read that Dolan won it.

He already has, by virtue of not stealing a massive wage.

They were 1 nil up at half time...and then got battered 5-1.

Your post said we hadn't spent money on a striker for 6 years. We have, last summer. Maybe you meant to say 'proper money'?

This sort of thing gets said every single summer. There are always 3 relegated teams expected to be strong in this league. Frequently at least one of them is shit. Looking at the Prem table, they've all struggled more than is usually the case. We're ignoring that 2 or 3 strong teams will be going up, too. I'm amazed we have had a sniff of the top 6 in so many of the recent seasons with the owners and board we've had. I do tend to think it can't last forever without proper investment though.

They absolutely don't invest properly, but we paid money for two strikers this summer. Just mentioning in the interest of keeping things accurate.

Yep. My mum just said the lads have done us proud. I replied that they did, but the owners have done us dirty. Again. Venkys out.

God I hate how predictable being a Rovers fan is.

That was our last chance to attack and Dennis spent it trying to dribble past 3 players in the middle of the park. Moron.

Which is the weakest part of Pears' game, too.

Awful first touch from Dennis there

Toth must be our MOTM. Unless someone wants to pull off a miracle right now.

Think he's overly keen because of the occasion, and not using his head enough.

Coventry 2 up now. All down to this and the Bristol game. I know how it will go though...

FFS...yeh Forshaw and Woodrow, that'll get the job done 🤦‍♂️

When you see the angle from behind the goal, it's clear how much Toth put Cannon off for that shot

Nonsense
